Accomplished women and business leaders, community volunteers, and inspiring professionals living and working in the Lower Naugatuck Valley gathered June 4 at Il Palio to launch this nationally acclaimed program.
United Way Vice President Patricia Tarasovic introduced Maureen Coffey as an accomplished and gifted woman who is strong and passionate about Valley United Way.
“Maureen is a visionary woman with many gifts and talents," Tarasovic said. "Her intelligence and hard work ethic along with her passion for the Valley showed that she was the model candidate to lead this exciting new venture.
Coffey said, “It’s an honor to serve as Inaugural Chair of Women United. When our family business Latex Foam Products (now Talalay Global) was lost to a devastating fire, United Way was on the scene to help our employees in countless ways. This is my chance to give back to a wonderful organization that needs support.”
